Hey all,
I decided to try out the Amazon 3 gear trans with dig on my latest element build, I wanted dig, but didn’t want to spend the coin on the vanquish without some testing. The trans seems pretty good, but it’s loud, and I never can seem to get the neutral position with any sort of load on the trans. In the house, I can get neutral all day, but the minute there’s a load or incline it’s not possible.
The biggest issue, though, is the binding. About 1 in 10 dig actuations binds the whole trans up, and nothing will turn until I gently reverse slightly to unbind it. Obviously this is a massive hassle and has caused me to fall out of position.
Now I wonder, does the Vanquish unit have any of these issues? Should I just pick up a hertz dig and put it on this trans, or go all out and put this in something else?
Thanks,
Cody
